    Good thing my wife thinks outside of the box. Pics of the mini six spot frag rack. Made with a shower soap dish. Frag plugs fit perfectly into the holes in the bottom. Small enough for my 20g.

    Just a heads up. Great way to think out side the box, but with the sides on it it may keep water glow around them not so good. I would figure out a way to cut it down or drill holes in it.

    Kp

    +1 haha. On a related note, I feel a few loofas may make for good biofilter media if anyone feels like running with this theme. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/laugh.gif

    Lol I thought about flipping but I have a high amount of flow in the area it's placed and fit. This way I have a buffer to slow the flow down a bit.

    No fancy suction cups needed. Just a torch, egg crate, zip ties, and coat hangers!

    That's a great idea Justin...however if my wife came home to that I'm pretty sure my system would be listed on here for sale. [​IMG] looks like it works great.
    55g to a 120g down to a 55g down to a 6g back up to a 20g high mixed reef...I'm done...I think... [​IMG]

    Haha! I'm all about diy improvising. Especially if it saves a trip to the store!
